- Ever dream of gracing the pages of Glamour? Or slinking
- down runways in overpriced micro-minis? To make it in the
- high-swank world of haute-couture modeling, you've got to be
- stunning, statuesque and stick-thin. But apparently you don't
- have to be female. Just ask LYPSINKA, a.k.a. John Epperson, the
- 6-ft. 1-in. cross-dressed darling of the New York City theater
- scene. In his popular one man/woman shows, the garishly clad
- performer offers hilarious lip-synched send-ups of dopey songs
- favored by fabled and forgotten divas of the '50s. So gorgeously
- glitzy is his alter ego that designers and photographers seem
- bent on turning him into the next Paulina Porizkova. Having
- already appeared in Thierry Mugler fashion shows in Paris and
- Tokyo, Lypsinka just finished a shoot for Esquire in which he
- donned ball gowns styled by the legendary Valentino. Jokes
- Lypsinka: "During the past year, my lifelong dream of becoming
- a fashion model has been realized."
